I found this last night crawling wiggling inside my tank
I know its a worm but what kind? Do they reproduce quick? I found 1 now does that means their still many inside living in rocks?

Do i have to be worried about it or not? Should i get it out of the tank?

Doesn't look like a Bristle worm, I'd be plucking that thing out.

Take it out and feed it to the garbage can! I do not know what it is, but I don't think it is cute or cuddly!

Its looks like the same worm that fishermans use for bait but the diff was it was color blue

I have one of those in my tank as well and so far he doesn't seem to bother anyone or anything except left over food! Idk what it is tho I've posted trying to figure it out and get nothing!

Well apparently when i saw it I took a long tweezers and took him out of the tank dont know if they reproduce fast or not

Update btw i saw a whitish transparent worm too yesterday i tweezered it quickly and threw it out of the trash

Does worms do come often in anybody's tank?

 

[KorD]

it might have been a flat worm... here is another guide to help you discover the other things you might encounter in the tank... lots of things live in the live rock :)
